Can’t you see me in the background
The helping hand when you’re down
Pointing the way when you come around
The light in the dark
A stark reminder of where you want to be
A place you imagine but will never see
Because you can’t forget about me

You thought it was through
But you never knew
How bad you’d miss me
Now you need me
But can’t you see me in the background
The helping hand when you’re down
Pointing the way when you come around
I’ll always be here

I’m the end in you
At the beginning of something new
But you can’t move on
You just can’t go on

You thought it was through
But you never knew
How bad you’d miss me
Now you need me
But can’t you see me in the background
The helping hand when you’re down
Pointing the way when you come around
I’ll always be here

I’m your own separate song
On a page that went wrong
In a diary that doesn’t belong
In a world this strong
What went wrong

I can’t move on

You thought it was through
But you never knew
How bad you’d miss me
Now you need me
But can’t you see me in the background
The helping hand when you’re down
Pointing the way when you come around
I’ll always be here
